The album topped the charts in several countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, United Kingdom and US, and achieved seven times platinum status in Australia, five times platinum in Canada, six times platinum in US, all of which only increased Hay’s net worth, and encouraged the group to continue in the same rhythm.
